    Exhaust fumes in cabin EGR valve

    I have an 03 that dumps exhaust directly into the air vents upon cold-start. I’m going to try this and hope it helps. It’s enough to make you choke. Once it’s warm at all it doesn’t do it.

    Transmission Fluid level problem

    Yeah I ended up using a tranfer pump and pumping nearly a gallon into it and the. Letting it flow back out the tube into a jug. Almost 3 qts came back out. It seems to work pretty good so far. I’m going to drive it a few days and then repeat that procedure. The concept of that plug-in-a-plug...

    What happens when you manage to install your torque converter wrong?

    I thought some people might be interested in the carnage anyway.

    What did you do to your LS today?

    Are those factory or aftermarket units? If aftermarket how is the beam pattern?

    What happens when you manage to install your torque converter wrong?

    This happens: I posted about my fluid level a couple days ago. This was the problem. I also determined I will not be able to reuse the torque converter either. Weeeeee

    Transmission Fluid level problem

    Yeah. Um. About that... This is where I made a major mistake. This is a rookie-tier screw up apparently. I installed the TC on the engine, then wiggled the transmission onto the engine and TC by rotating the engine until it went on up to the dowel pins. This sounds really dumb, but let me...

    Transmission Fluid level problem

    The nuts and bolts were pretty easy, it was wrestling the thing around on the ground that was the hard part. I have a sneaking suspicion that I didn’t get the torque converter seated properly. I had to fight it to get on the dowel pins. I may have not been fighting the dowels but the TC. What...

    Transmission Fluid level problem

    It was level and very hot. I’ll try this again tomorrow after shifting through all the gears and not being too hot. I didn’t shift through all gears before the check. Thanks.

    Transmission Fluid level problem

    Ok, long story short I replaced my engine and lost quite a bit of transmission fluid but not tons and tons of it. Button everything up and my last 2 tasks are to fill and bleed to cooling system and to top off the transmission. Get the car up to operating temperature, remove transmission...

    Engine pulling advice and poll

    Dropping it out the bottom sounds fine to me in theory but I just don’t know how to do it without a lift. I have a jack and jack stands and a cherry picker....

    Engine pulling advice and poll

    I don’t have a lift so I think that may eliminate any chance of bringing it out the bottom unless someone has a creative solution there... When I yanked the motor out of my Camaro (a few times) it was a lot easier with the trans attached. I got everything loose and jacked up the rear end of the...

    Engine pulling advice and poll

    Going to be pulling an engine, would you guys do it with the trans attached or not? Any advice much appreciated. Thanks!

    5R55N Transmission question swapping out Gen1 with Gen 2 is it possible?

    A word about cars in a U-pull yard: they’re in there for a reason. If you need an engine or transmission be very wary of cars that are in there and NOT wrecked. Chances are if the car isn’t wrecked it’s in there because it’s broken. Rarely do perfectly good cars wind up in the u-pick although I...
